BIC® Graphic
Print techniques
for lighters
With the guarantee of over 50 years of experience. Every BIC® lighter supports established printing techniques: choose the one best suited to your logo and requirements.
Screen Printing
Have you ever wondered why BIC Graphic is a brand ambassador? We believe the way a brand is seen on our products is that brand's image in the world. Screen Printing ensures exact colours faithful to your brand guidelines, pressing ink through a stencil mesh screen directly onto the lighter surface.
BritePix™ Digital
A colour solution that can be applied to the tank surface to combine the lighter body colour with your print.
Digital Brilliant
When your customer asks for BIC® lighters with endless printing possibilities, the answer is clear: choose digital printing. Our digital labels have two different finishes to choose from. The Brilliant version offers a glossy and dazzling effect, combinable with Puffy, Holographic, Metallic or Puffy Glitter.
Digital Matt
When your customer asks for BIC® lighters with endless printing possibilities, the answer is clear: choose digital printing. Our digital labels have two different finishes to choose from. The Matt version adds elegance to the design and is combinable with all special digital finishes.
Digital Puffy
Among all the different digital finishes, Digital Puffy is the best-selling. It creates a relief effect on the lighter surface: feel the design in your hands, feel the logo. Combining Digital Brilliant with Puffy gives a shiny, structured result; Digital Matt plus Puffy delivers a matte relief contrast, ideal for logos, letters and various shapes.
Digital UV
Sometimes, when contrast is what we need, Digital UV is the perfect technique. It combines Digital Matt labels with selectively applied glossy UV varnish to highlight specific design areas, creating a mix & match effect of great visual impact.
Digital Holographic
The Digital Holographic technique allows you to add an iridescent touch to designs. By moving the lighter you can see different colour shades on the printed area. Available in gold or silver with Brilliant or Matt finish, it applies to lines or small design sections to capture attention in any light condition.
Digital Metallic
If you really want to stand out, use the Digital Metallic finish to add a premium look to the design. Applicable to the entire label or specific parts to highlight areas of the design. Choose Matt for understated elegance or Brilliant for luminosity. Combined with Digital Puffy it creates an ultra-premium effect.
Digital Puffy Glitter
This technique consists of adding glitter to a transparent varnish to embellish designs with a sparkling effect. Coloured glitter adds shimmer to logos or design sections. Visibility varies with background colour: lighter backgrounds showcase glitter more prominently. Combining with Matt finish creates a beautiful contrast between glittered and surrounding areas.
